Over the fifty years we’ve been around, we’ve subjected many of the people who were involved in the Goon Show to an interrogation, often in front of an audience at one of our meetings. The results below include some longer reads, with lots of insights into the history of the show.
We’ll be adding to this list regularly.
Michael Palin – We spoke to the world travelling ex-Python about his love of the Goons in 2008.
The Alberts – who were musical comedy performers and friends of the Goons. Among other things, they appeared on A Show Called Fred. Albert and Tony Gray were interviewed in 2012 and 2013.
Ruxton Hayward – the man who inspired the voice of Bluebottle, interviewed on his 80th birthday in 2010.
Sir Harry Secombe – with Dennis Main Wilson and John Hamilton at Bournemouth in 1995.
